Q86 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Physics

In an experiment, the percentage of error occurred in the measurement of physical quantities A, B, C and D are 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. Then the maximum percentage of error in the measurement X, where X=A2B12C13D3 will be

  • A
    313%
  • Correct answer
    B
    16%
  • C
    -10%
  • D
    10%

Solution

Given: Percentage error in A, B, C and D is 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively.

The maximum percentage error in X is given by,

∆XX×100=2∆AA×100+12∆BB×100+13∆CC×100+3∆DD×100

∆XX×100=2×1+12×2+13×3+3×4

∆XX×100=16%. will be the maximum percentage error in X.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
